Job Description:

Airbus in North America is looking for a Facilities Management & Real Estate / IT Project Manager to join our Digital Solutions team based in Mobile, Alabama or Grand Prairie, Texas.

You will be part of a team developing digital and facilities infrastructure transformation initiatives across Facilities Management & Real Estate (FMRE), Security, and Corporate Services. As part of the Digital (IM) North America team, you will be involved in multi-site Agile roadmap execution, infrastructure project delivery, backlog maturation, and User Story writing within the SAFe framework aiming at deploying compliant, high-value regional IT and facilities infrastructure solutions aligned with global Airbus architecture.

Meet the Team

You will be part of the Digital (IM) North America division within the Corporate Services & Legal domain. Operating as an execution leader within the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), our multicultural team bridges global IT capabilities with regional site needs across North America and collaborates daily with technical delivery teams, facilities leads, and engineering partners in North America, Europe, and India.

Your Working Environment

This position offers a hybrid work model (minimum 80% onsite presence) based in either Mobile, AL or Grand Prairie, TX. In Mobile, you will be located on ‘Airbus Way’ at the Airbus U.S. Manufacturing Facility at Mobile Aeroplex at Brookley, home to our A320 Family and A220 production lines. In Grand Prairie, TX, you will be part of a key regional hub supporting critical corporate and business operations. This role includes up to 20% domestic and international travel to key sites including Mirabel (Canada), Atlanta (GA), Mobile (AL), and Toulouse (France).

Your Challenges

Infrastructure & Multi-Site Delivery: Drive the end-to-end lifecycle and physical deployment of facilities technology, building security, and IT infrastructure solutions across major regional sites (specifically synchronizing Mirabel, Mobile, and Atlanta).
Agile Backlog Maturation: Translate complex functional and physical infrastructure requirements into structured User Stories with clear Acceptance Criteria (Gherkin/BDD syntax) and prepare technical specifications for SAFe Program Increment (PI) planning.
Change Management & Operational Adoption: Build user manuals, design training plans, and host live demonstrations to maximize site adoption of smart facility tools, workflow automation, and asset management systems.
Governance & Standards Compliance: Partner with internal governance functions to ensure all local physical and digital infrastructure implementations comply with global Airbus security, building standards, data privacy, and architectural guidelines.
Stakeholder Alignment: Act as the key liaison between site FMRE managers, security leads, vendors, and technical infrastructure teams to ensure unified project rollouts and value realization.

Your Boarding Pass

Professional Experience: Minimum 10 years of experience in enterprise Project Management and Digital Transformation, with a proven emphasis on Facilities, Real Estate, or IT Infrastructure projects (building systems, IoT, physical security, connectivity, and OT systems) which is more relevant for this role than pure software development projects.

Certifications (Preferred): PMP, Certified ScrumMaster (CSM), or PMI-ACP certifications. Experience with FMRE, Building Construction, Building Automation, or ServiceNow workflows is a strong plus.
Communication & Languages: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills in English. Fluency in French or Spanish is a strong asset.
